By CYNTHIA TANK
Coiumbian Staff Writer
"T hate to think the thoughts people will be
thinking about me all over the United
States," said Harold Dwayne Ingram as he
sat in his boss's office Thursday afternoon.

The 28-yeat-old Vancouver resident said he
now regrets his 38-year-old son.Brian's finding
of D.B. Cooper's hijack ransom money last
month.

"J regret it for myself, but not for Brian,"
who, he said, has enjoyed all the attention.

Brian and his family made national
headlines after a family outing on a
Columbia River beach near Vancouver Feb.
10 turned into a major media and FBI event.
Brian was preparing 'a campfire when he
scooped out about $5,000 of the $200,006
Cooper had demanded and received before
jumping out of an airliner in 1971.

Since last month Ingram has:

© Lost 1% days pay — about $100 —
order to return the money and attend an FBI
press conference.

@ Watched as a fire caused about $1, 000
damage to the upper floor of his home at
1500 Markle St. Saturday. '

@ Been arrested Monday on an Oklahoma
warrant alleging he left that state unlawfully

. with mortgaged proper y=

See"

a car.

Officials in Oklahoma said they recognized
Ingram from newspaper photographs that
appeared after the famous find. Ingram had
been wanted for about six months before the
story first appeared in the paper, they said.

The warrant was issued because Ingram
allegedly is behind in payments for his car.

"T have every receipt,' Ingram said
Thursday. "I don't have a payment due on
that car until the 20th of next month." .

"I feel confused, really confused," Ingram
said Thursday. "And I feel pretty unlucky.
I'm not angry; I'm kind of hurt. I really care
what people think about me."

Ingram said he bought his car from a new
car salesman, paid $200 or $300 down, and
arranged for financing. He said he notified
the finance company when he and his family
moved here from Oklahoma last winter.

His arrest Monday was an unhappy
surprise, he said.

"J had no idea I hada warrant on me," he
said. "That's obvious, or I wouldn't be
flashing my face all over the world."

He might have been late with a payment or

* two, he said, "but rich people do that, too,

don't they?" '
But things were looking up for Ingram

Be

gs Z

Z, vy

today. His boss and attorney, Joe Tanner,
said this morning he has been told by the
Pittsburg County, Okla., district attorney tha

that office now has verification of Ingram'g'
car payments. Ingram, in fact, is paid ahead

. to July on the car, Tanner said.

Tanner Said a few details need to be
worked out, but when they are the district
attorney has told him the charges will be
dropped. That will not occur until Monday,
Tanner said he was told. The district attorney

. was unavailable for comment this morning.

As for Ingram's other bad fortune, just
before midnight Saturday, two bedrooms,on
the upper floor burned, and his landlord —
who bailed him out of jail Tuesday — started
remodeling the next day. - '

Tanner, vice president of U-Cart Concrete
Systems Inc. of Vancouver, where Ingram is
empioyed, said the company is behind him.
Tanner, a lawyer, said he will represent
Ingram without charge.

Until the charges against him are dropped,
Ingram faces an April 17 identification}
hearing in Clark County District Court. - |!

"These people are great here," Ingram/
said of his fellow employees. "They want toy
back me 108 percent."

"He' $s been treated unfairly," 'Tanner said. .

Steve Covington views things a bit differently from
nis perspective in McAlester.
' Covington told The P-] yesterday that he sold the car
in question to Ingram for $800 last March. .
"Nir. Ingram paid $200 down on the car, financed the
rest through GMAC (the General Mofors Acceptance
Corp.) and never made another payment," Covington

. Said.

, When Ingram allegedly stepped making payments,
. Covington — who still holds title to the car — said GMAC
came after him to make things right.

concerned he (Ingram) needs to be prosecuted if he can't

he was "up-to-date right now on my payments, and I've

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two Dlack and white, and two cdlor, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and

without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
which would blow up the plane unless his demands were

met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
_complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes -and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

. He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
. informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed ina
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where 'the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered

a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared toi @pict the hijacker's complexion and age

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two edlor, depicting the.
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met. .

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines :
_complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes -and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

. He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
. informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered
a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared to1 épict the hijacker" Ss complexion and age
more graphically.

Bufile 164-2111

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed ina
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered
a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared to1 @€pict the 'hijacker's complexion and age
more graphically.

The hijacker is described as follows:

' Race White
Sex _ Male
Age ' Mid 40's
Height 5'10" to 6!
Weight . 170 to 180 lbs.
Complexion Olive, Latin appearance,

bills were in the water and he gave them no thought until
the $20 bills were found recently in Vancouver which
apparently came from the D. B. Cooper skyjacking. He stated
he still had the bills and would provide the serial numbers
to the FBI when he returned home.

Later that same day, | |, supra, ; b6é
provided the serial numbers and series/year Of the seven bic
$20 bills mentioned above. The serial numbers and series/
years are as follows:

Serial Number Series/Year

L91936905B 1950B

G94889488C 1950D

A63443468A 1950D ,

L97893172B 1950B

L9744---8B 1950B 1

L0446945* | '1950B

A check with the list of known serial numbers and
series/year of the D. B. Cooper $20 bills revealed the above
serial numbers and series/years did not match those in the

list.
The above is for information.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met. :

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered
a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared to1 €pict the hijacker's -complexion and age
more graphically.

The hijacker is described as follows:

Race White .
Sex Male

Age Mid 40's

Height 5'10" to 6!

Weight 170 to 180 lbs.

Complexion Olive, Latin appearance,

She further stated he knew airplanes inside and out and
could fly. She advised he did fly various kinds of aircraft
although she did not know if he had"a flying license of any kind.

' "She added he could fly a helicopter, and on one occasion when he
read about a bank robber being arrested for a robbery, he
explained what the robber did wrong and how he would have done it.

She noted he stated he would have used a helicopter to
make his escape after the robbbery.

[_Jaiso stated in 1967 or 1968, Maze spent a year in b6
San Diego during which time he took sky diving lessons. She was b7C
unable to furnish the address where Maze resided during that year, ,

time and she would know.

[| continuea, Maze had received a less than honorable b6
discharge from the United States Army during World War II for 7c
being a "neurotic".

[_Jretatea that in 1970, Maze made a down payment on a bé
hotel in the southern section of the state of Washington, near the b7c
State border. She could not recall the name of the town where. the
hotel was located but did recall it was a small town and the town
had the same name as a city located in Arizona.

She continued, in 1972, Maze paid off the debt owed on
the hotel and he later sold it prior to his death. She noted the
person or persons who bought the hotel are currently making
payments on the debt to Mazge's estate for which| bé

and always had new vehicles, including campers, which he used when
he went off into the wilderness of Oregon and Washington. [| b6
"noted Maze also owned some property in Florida and Arizona. b7C

Shé added when he was fired from AiResearch in the early
1960's, he did not have any savings or assets and there was not
any family wealth.

| further related that in 1972, Maze visited b6
| | in Charlottesville, Virginia, at which time he had a new bic
Chevrolet Elcamino pickup truck with a sleeping camper on the
back. She emphasized Maze was an avid camper at home and in the
wilderness by himself.
She also related Maze exercised and took care of his
health, having quit drinking for approximately eight years. She
noted in 1972, although approximately 57 years of age, he looked
about 35 years old in appearance. She added, he did not have any
age wrinkles but did have some small "laugh wrinkles at the corner
of his eyes" which were not real prominent.
She described him as follows:
Complexion Tan
Height Approximately 5 feet 10 inches
to 5 feet 11 inches
Weight Approximately 165 pounds
, Hair . Full head of dark brown hair
which was fine in texture
Eyes Blue
[| continued in appearance Maze looked like "a young b6
David Niven", the movie star, and wore a mustache like Niven. She b7c

added, Maze was a secretive and very methodical person who never
did anything impulsively. She explained if Maze was going to buy
a vehicle, he took several months to decide on which vehicle to
buy and he would even go so far as to study the vehicle on
blueprint, test run it, and check it over completely before
deciding.

She added he always thought things out completely before
acting. In her judgment Maze was extremely intelligent and could
'do anything he set his mind to do.

[_Jaiso related when Maze | |
Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1972, he would not sleep in a bed,
and he slept on the floor in the bedroom made available to him.

She added, Maze was born in Kane, Pennsylvania, in
September, 1915, where he was raised by a mother and a grandmother
after the death of his father when he was very young.

[_| further related, Maze had stipulated in his will
that upon his death, he was not to be embalmed, he was to be put
in a pine box and buried as soon as possible so that he could rot
as soon as he could. .

She added, to her knowledge, Maze's wishes were carried
out and he was buried in the East-Resthaven Cemetery in
Scottsdale, Arizona, by Carr Mortuary, 26 East Fifth Street,
Tempe, Arizona,

[_] reiterated, the composite she observed on the
television program "In Search Of" for D. B. Cooper is identical to

John Scott Maze, minus his mustache.

| 'Charlottesville, Virginia, was

shown four artists' composites, two black and white and two
colored, depicting the individual known as D. B. Cooper who
skyjacked Northwest Orient Flight Number 305 on November 24, 1971.
i viewed the four artists' composites and stated in her
judgment, the black and white artist's composite without the
sunglasses looks just like| | John Scott
Mazé'/who died of a heart attack in November, 1974, in Scottsdale,
Arizona, at the age of 59.

She noted in addition to the information she furnished
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Charlottesville, Virginia,
on April 11, 1980, John Scott Maze did smoke cigarettes of the
filter type but she could not recall the brand.

She also noted he was always extremely polite, even to
her whom he did not care for at all.

She noted the composite she identified as looking just
like John Scott Maze, looked like him without the "David Niven"
type mustache he always wore.

She also recalled he alwas talked at a low modulation as
he had an adversity towards loud noise. She added, she talks loud
and that'was one of the things Maze did not like about her.

. [| advised she has papers and photographs stored away
and if she locates anything which would be of further value to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning Maze, she will contact
the interviewing Agent and"furnish it to him.

In conclusion she stated in her judgment, the composite
picture she identified is a picture of John Scott Maze, and Maze's
complexion was even more tan than the complexion depicted in the
colored composites when she last saw Maze in person in 1972.

day after Thanksgiving, being transferred to Fort Eustis,
Virginia. Upon arriving in Fort Eustis, Virginia, he

ADMINISTRATIVE

Due to the file destruction program, no information
regarding the hijacking is contained in the Dallas Division
files regarding Norjak, and the date of 11-24-71 was obtained
from a recent newspaper article which may or may not be
accurate.

It is suggested that when setting out leads for
offices in which the files may have been destroyed, that
a brief resume of the hijacking be included.

Bufile 164-2111

Enelosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb

which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met. .

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

. Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered

a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared to1 epict the hijacker's -complexion and age
more graphically.

The hijacker is described as follows:

Race White
Sex Male °
Age Mid 40's
Height 5'10" to 6!
Weight 170 to 180. lbs.
Complexion Olive, Latin appearance,

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb

which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met. ;

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the

parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to refuel: It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered
a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared toi @pict the hijacker's complexion and age
more graphically. .

But they did as he ordered, for a pirate had boarded, and they
circled the field at Sea-Tac. The runway lights went dim, the
plane coasted in, and sat pale as a ghost on the field. "Give
me chutes, give me money," he said, "nothing funny", he used

Tina, the stew, as a shield. "Get this show on the road," offi-
cials were told, and the plane thundered into the night. "Fly
it slow, fly it low," he said, "onto Mexico!" and the rear door

stayed open in flight. Its jump or face jail, as he stood at

the tail, watching the darkness below. He took a deep breath,
said, "It'll be a quick death," and leaped into space all alone.
Clark County lay still, in the brisk evening chill, and the

heart of the land skipped a beat. There was something not right,
in the primeval night, there were thumps, bumps, and the clumping
of feet. When the morning mist cleared, and the story of D. B.
was known, Thanksgiving was here, and the story of D. B. was known.
The hills of Clark County, swarmed with hunters for bounty, and
the seeds of a legend were sown. It spread near and far. In

the taverns and bars, was repeated with relish and glee, Might

you ever suppose, the woods will disclose, the bones of a man
called D. B.?"

A review of Seattle file also discloses the report of
a story which appeared in the 3/19/72 issue of the Los Angeles
Times newspapers "West" magazine, wherein a song entitled "The
Ballad of D. B. Cooper" appears along with the lyrics and its
entirety. It is unknown whether the"Ballad of D. B. Cooper"
and "A Ballad to the Man Called D. B. Cooper" are identical.

|_| prepatea the enclosed agreement and forwarded it
to the Seattle Office. A review of the agreement reveals the
following items which raise questions:

The first paragraph states that this agreement is
for a term of two years. It does not appear that the time
is important inasmuch as it relates to a specific item of
evidence and case.

In the second paragraph, it is stated that, "Within
two weeks the Bureau will send a letter to[_____—__—iindicating
the results of the comparison." This two week period could
possibly create difficulty in getting the fingerprints to the
Identification Division and compared within this time. |
indicated that he based this time period on information which had
previously been furnished to him by persons he had contacted
in connection with the investigation and his purpose for including
this time period is that he desires the results as quickly as
possible.

Paragraph three states in part, "...the Bureau agrees
to place no restrictions legal or other upon[_____]relative
to the publication of D. B. Cooper material." This statement

does not specifically identify the material referred to; however,
the material is the information which| lnas developed through his
independent investigation and this should be more clearly spelled
out in any agreement that is signed.

Paragraph four of the agreement provides that the Bureau
will civ ie opportunity to interview the subject
prior to granting interviews to other media representatives. It
has been explained toL___] that the FBI has no authority to grant or
deny interviews of suspects to any news media representatives.
He was advised that when a subject is arrested, he is turned over
to the custody of the U. S. Marshal and any interviews of the
subject will then depend on the local ground rules set forth by the
U.S. Marshal as well as by the desires of the subject. He was advised
that the FBI's obligation is to insure that a person, upon arrest,
appears before the U. S. Magistrate and that following this the
subject will be in the custody of the U. S. Marshal, if in custody.

advised that he did not anticipate that the interview
with the subject would be a problem inasmuch as he and his company
would retain a lawyer for the subject if he is arrested and therefore
arrangements would be made for interview through that attorney.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
Which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members
into the first-class section of the aircraft and
informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The
hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a
southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane
(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

Dear

Based on information which you have provided to this
office, it is my understanding that you have conducted investi-
gation and developed information concerning an individual who
you feel is "D. B. Cooper," the individual who skyjacked a
Northwest Airlines flight between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle,
I further understand that you
have located fingerprints of this individual. If you will make
these fingerprints available to this agency, they will be for-
warded to our Identification Division where they will be compared
with latent impressions that were located on the skyjacked air-
craft. In the event the Identification Division is unable to
identify the fingerprints you submit as identical with the latent
impressions from the aircraft, you will be advised by letter,
within five business days of completion of the examination. This
letter will be sent to you by registered mail, at the_above
address. A copy will also be sent to your attorney ,|

If an identification is not made it may be because
your fingerprints and the latent impressions are not from the
same individual or because the fingerprints you submit or impres-

sions from the aircraft are from different portions of the same ___

hands and therefore are not comparable.

Very truly yours,
